| "Nilsson Sings Newman" is a short song written by Paul Williams and Ken Ascher and recorded by Williams for his Here Comes Inspiration album.
You don't like Schumann
Or Randy Newman
And Nilsson's not your cup of tea
You say Van Heusen is the shirt worth choosin'
But you're still undecided about me ....
On June 15, 2001, the Loser's Lounge presented a "Tribute to Paul Williams"
concert in New York. Williams himself appeared in the show and performed
"Nilsson Sings Newman." As the short singer finished the short song, he said
"That's too high a key. That's not the key I usually do it in. In the spirit
of losers everywhere I did it in the wrong key. We've never, ever performed
this song, ever, on stage before."
June 15 was, is, of course, Harry Nilsson's birthday. Visitor Comments: |
